FIRST FRC SolidWorks Kit of Parts (KOP)

By

KitBot in SolidWorks HR

US FIRST FRC Kickoff revealed a new challenge to robot teams around the world.  And to help with that challenge, SolidWorks created a KitBot and SolidWorks KOP to start off the games.

FRC Teams can download the SolidWorks Kit of Parts (KOP) and the KitBot from www.solidworks.com/FIRST.

FRC Teams can apply for SolidWorks sponsorship at www.solidworks.com/FIRST.

Teams receive:

  • SolidWorks 3D CAD
  • SolidWorks Electrical
  • SolidWorks Simulation
  • Workgroup PDM

Thank you to TJ Watson, Brad Miller and Bertan Atamer (BA) from WPI, Andy Mark for their SolidWorks model, and Collin Fultz from US FIRST for helping us achieve this KOP!

We will let you know when the Game pieces and the SolidWorks Electrical KOP becomes available.  We had to wait for the game to be announced to develop these models.
